I'm beginning to feel myxomatosis creeping up on me but I should be okay, they can't ask the same question twice.

Can they?

Maybe not about myxo but how about "Which virus was "accidentally" released into Australia to control rabbits?" or even better "Calicivirus was "accidentally released into Australia to control which feral animal?"

Ha, Tizz, I think the first of your questions was the one they asked, or something very like it. Naturally it did not go unnoticed on the Llamas' board that our pet Challenge star had been rather quiet until a question about a virus in Australia appeared but he piped up then, didn't he?

And in case he thinks I'm bearing a grudge, well yes, young Michael, I am!

I remember the q about myxo being asked but not the specifics. I haven't seen the subsequent episodes yet. It would be great if a q was asked about calicivirus too! You'd better not set foot in the country as both are still around and you can't be vaccinated against either (I'm pretty sure) unless there are special circumstances

It's safe to post now? Yes, they were on fire on Monday, although I did notice one person buzzing in and then forgetting the answer! Not that I'm criticising - it's much easier to sit on the sofa and know the answer (well, maybe 5% of them). I hope the next QF match is as good, and a win.

Lol, it is a running joke that whenever we get questions about Scotland (which is often), the team look at me and I look back, blankly. Thanks for all your comments. I was still on the edge of my seat, despite knowing the outcome.

Clare's score was actually the highest ever losing score in the Paxman era and the aggregate score is possibly the highest in the Paxman era (I'm not 100% sure of this but I don't know of any which really came close).
